"The IBL has taught me that I cannot do some of the things like I used to, but I am determined to fight all the way for the team. I hope to be here next year too," said Baun in a chat with the media on Wednesday.

Sindhu, the 18-year old who created a sensation by reaching the semi-finals at the World Championship and scored some notable wins in the ongoing IBL, especially against Baun when the teams met last week, expected a good tie.

"It will be a good match tomorrow. I want to give my best because Tine (Baun) is a very good player. Our team is in good form, we should do well. It has been a good comeback to get into the semifinals (after losing their opening two matches)," said Sindhu. Read full preview.
